In the style of Bricktop from Snatch - 'Get your tongue from out my arse boy'

Wigan chairman Dave Whelan has told Sky Sports News that Manchester United have made cash offers for Antonio Valencia.

It was reported at the weekend that Premier League champions United and Primera Liga giants Real Madrid had bid in excess of £16million for the Ecuadorian.

Real - who have had a world-record £80m bid for United's Cristiano Ronaldo accepted - have since stated that they have not shown an interest in Valencia since January.

However, Whelan has declared that United have been in contact with JJB Stadium officials for the past two to three months and that they have also submitted initial offers.

He told Sky Sports News when asked about Valencia: "They (United) have been in touch with us and we will be starting negotiations very shortly, I would imagine.

"United have been in touch with us over Antonio for the last two or three months, expressing an interest and actually putting cash offers on the table.
Strong interest

"Those things have got to be picked up now. I think they were waiting to see if Ronaldo actually went to Real, which has happened."

He added: "Things will develop over the next seven to 14 days.

"The master, which is Sir Alex [Ferguson], he makes his moves when he is ready. He has strong interest in Antonio, there is no question in that.

"He had him watched practically every, single match last year. He has got a very strong interest in him. We are just sat on the fence now."

Whelan, though, is adamant that Wigan - who are currently without a manager following a backroom-staff compensation hitch in their attempts to appoint Roberto Martinez - are not eager to cash in on Valencia.

Desperate

"We are not desperate to sell Antonio, I'm telling you. If I can keep that lad, I'm going to keep him. He is one brilliant player," added Whelan.

"So there is no pressure on me, or our football club to sell him. If Man United don't want to make a (written) offer, I'll be delighted and we will have him in our team next season."

But Whelan admits that he will not stand in the 23-year-old's way if he expresses a desire to move to Old Trafford and an asking price is met.

He said: "What is difficult is to stop a lad like Antonio Valencia, who has got ambition. It is difficult to stop a footballer, who wants to get to the very, very top of the ladder.

"I would never stand in the way of a footballer who can go to bigger and better clubs, and you can't get bigger and better than Man United.

"If Antonio Valencia says to me, 'chairman, I want to go to Manchester United' and we get the right fee, the deal will be done."

He fucking loves the scum, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Bruce got an executive order to get the team to roll over for any of their games.

Arse licking fuck

Ha ha, I was just about to post the same thing. 'The master' - fucking hell.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Didn't he try to buy utd at one stage?

 

[keniget]

That's just embarassing. Surely Wigan fans must cringe when they read this sort of stuff?

Why don't you just give them Valencia for free, huh?

"We're just sitting on the fence"...

Fucking hell, who are they in it for? Wigan or United?

I hope they get relegated next season and their fans turn on the hapless fucker.

Remember: This is the same xenophobic cock who didn't want foreign players at Wigan when they were promoted to the Premier league. Probably wants rid of Valencia as he is 'one of them blacks'.

Plus, you got to love this quote from Mr Whelan:

"'I don't just think British managers are the equals of their foreign counterparts, they are better - and what Steve and David are doing for their clubs proves that.

'Then there's Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United and Martin O'Neill at Aston Villa.

'We've got the best managers in the world here - English, Welsh, Irish and Scots.

'I'd never entertain a foreign manager for Wigan and I don't think it's right that England have a foreign manager either.

'We're the home of football. I can't believe that we need foreign managers

'I wouldn't go anywhere near one because I don't accept you must go abroad for your boss.

'Steve Bruce is too good for England - I am deadly serious."

...at least he didn't go abroad, or at least only to Wales...

Haha.. There were his recent comments too about him believing Bruce would be in the running for the United job after Fergie retires.

I would love it if United blew a quarter of their Ronaldo fee on this lad. Seriously love it.
